The Totality-Component: Figure of Steel

[Excerpt from Klaus Theweleit’s “Male Fantasies", Volume 2]

Once in battle, the formation dissolves. The macromachine separates out into its components. Each component in the soldierly totality-body has been made functional by the drill; battle gives it the opportunity to prove that its own function conform to the functioning principle of the machine itself. Each totality-component becomes a miniature of the machine.

This was a whole new race, energy incarnate, charged with supreme energy. Supple bodies, lean and sinewy, striking features, stone eyes petrified in a thousand terrors beneath their helmets. These were conquerors, men of steel tuned to the most grisly battle. Sweeping across a splintered landscape, they heralded the final triumph of all imagined horror. Unimaginable energies were released as these brave troops broke out to regain lost outposts where pale figures gaped at them with madness in their eyes. Jugglers of death, masters of explosive and flame, glorious predators, they sprang easily through the trenches. In the moment of encounter, they encapsulated the spirit of battle as no other human beings could. Theirs was the keenest assembly of bodies, intelligence, will, and sensation.*

Jünger’s imaginary man is portrayed as a physical type devoid of drives and of psyche; he has no need of either since all his instinctual energies have been smoothly and frictionlessly transformed into functions of his steel body. This passage seems to me to crystallize a tendency that is evident throughout Jünger’s writing: a tendency toward the utopia of the body machine.

In the body-machine the interior of the man is dominated and transformed in the same way as are the components of the macromachine of the troop. For Jünger, then, the fascination of the machine apparently lies in its capacity to show how a man might “live” (move, kill, give expression) without emotion. Each and every feeling is tightly locked in steel armor.

The “new man” sired in the drill (the drill as organized battle of the old men against himself) owes allegiance only to the machine that bore him. He is a true child of the drill-machine, created without the help of a woman, parentless. His associations and relationships bind him instead to other specimens of the new man, with whom he allows himself to be united to form the macromachine troop. All others belong only “under” him—never alongside, behind, or in front.

The most urgent task of the man of steel is to pursue, to dam in, and to subdue any force that threatens to transform him back into the horribly disorganized jumble of flesh, hair, skin, bones, intestines, and feelings that calls itself human—the human being of old:

These are the figures of steel whose eagle eyes dart between whirling propellers to pierce the cloud; who dare the hellish crossing through fields of roaring craters, gripped in the chaos of tank engines; who squat for days on end behind blazing machine-guns, who crouched against banks ranged high with corpses, surrounded, half-parched, only one step ahead of certain death. These are the best of the modern battlefield, men relentlessly saturated with the spirit of battle, men whose urgent wanting discharges itself in a single concentrated and determined release of energy.

As I watch them noiselessly slicing alleyways into barbed wire, digging steps to storm outward, synchronizing luminous watches, finding the North by the stars, the recognition flashes: this is the new man. The pioneers of storm, the elect of central Europe. A whole new race, intelligent, strong, men of will. Tomorrow, the phenomenon now manifesting itself in battle will be the axis around which life whirls ever faster. A thousand sweeping deeds will arch across their great cities as they stride down asphalt streets, supple predators straining with energy. They will be architects building on the ruined foundations of the world.*

The new man is a man whose physique has been machinized, his psyche eliminated—or in part displaced into his body armor, his “predatory” suppleness. We are presented with a robot that can tell the time, find the North, stand his ground over a red-hot machine-gun, or cut wire without a sound. In the moment of action, he is as devoid of fear as of any other emotion. His knowledge of being able to do what he does is his only consciousness of self. This, I believe, is the ideal man of the conservative utopia: a man with machinelike periphery, whose interior has lost its meaning (the technocrat is his contemporary manifestation).

This is not a utopia from the technologization of the means of production; it has nothing to do with the development of machine technology. That development is simply used to express a quality specific to the bodies of these men. The mechanized body as conservative utopia derives instead from men’s compulsion to subjugate and repulse what is specifically human within them—the id, the productive force of the unconscious. The soldier male responds to the successful damming in and chaoticizing of his desiring-production from the the moment of his birth (if not earlier) by fantasizing himself as a figure of steel: a man of the new race.

The armor of the soldier male may transform his incarcerated interior into the fuel that speeds him forward; or it may send it spinning outward. As something external to him, it can then be combatted; and it assails him constantly, as if it wished him back: it is a deluge, an invasion from Mars, the proletariat, contagious Jewish lust, sensuous woman.

The conservative utopia of the mechanized body, the body made machine in its totality, does not, then, derive from the development of the industrial means of production, but from the obstruction and transformation of human productive forces.

Definitely spooky! A gear example of how to use space to create emotion. 😀 also check out that EFCcv module! ❤️ #Repost @boscio ・・・ • kennel master • a little behind the scenes clip into my score process for the upcoming thriller feature, @likedogsfilm. i’m sure you can tell i am having NO fun at all coming up with these creepy themes. also, i wanna shoutout @macromachines for my new favorite Eurorack module, the Omnimod. i feel like it just unlocked so many things in my rack that, coming from a software/DAW workflow, i had been desperately missing. can’t wait to continue discovering all the other possibilities it’ll inspire. 🖤 #eurorack #modularsynth #gearslutz #sounddesign https://www.instagram.com/p/B2FCQd4FGyc/?igshid=1m2utclm9eubn

@audulus - #ModularGrid dreams - putting together my ideal rig for use with Audulus. Once Taylor adds MIDI out and arbitrary audio I/O, I'll be able to make Audulus my sequencer/envelope/modulation brain. The heart of this rig is the @qubitelectronix Chord - all four voices are individually enveloped by the @macromachines #omnimod which is itself triggered by MIDI out in #Audulus through the @expertsleepers FH-1X. The Chord Mix output is enveloped by Audulus separately through the #ExpertSleepers ES8. Each voice has its own filter - two @twohpmodular #Filt's, one @stgsoundlabs #SeaDevilsFilter and a #MankatoFilter, and finally the Chord Mix into the #MutableInstruments #ShelvesEQ. The Expert Sleepers Disting Mk4s are mostly there to be drum samplers. They have a submix and get some tube distortion from the L-1 TubeVCA. Each voice can be mixed separately on the #QuBitElectronix Mixology and a companion 2hp Mix module with a MI Clouds on the send. Cap it off with a @mordaxsystems #DATAmodule as a master clock, modulation source, and just awesome eye candy, and the plugins available in my @uaudio #Apollo8DUO and I've got a seriously powerful compact 7U system. Buy an Expert Sleepers #ES8 from @centurysoundlabs and you'll receive a free copy of #Audulus3! Let me know what you think of the rig in the comments below! 👌😎🎹🎛🔥 #eurorack #eurocrack #modularsynth #synth #synthesizer #analogsynth (at Asheville, North Carolina)
